Correct. Nothing says "you're not welcome" like a stack of bologna. Actions tend to speak louder than words. Furthermore, while Illegals do inject money into the economy via cheap labour, they extract far more than their total value out of the system. Proof: budget.house.gov/imo/media/do... - ThreadSky

*“Ah yes, the classic ‘illegals take more than they give’ myth—backed by a conveniently vague link.

Cheap labor fuels industries Agriculture, construction, and service sectors rely on undocumented workers. Deport them all overnight, and watch food prices skyrocket and businesses collapse

2️⃣ They pay taxes: Sales taxes, property taxes (through rent), and even billions in Social Security contributions they’ll never claim. The IRS estimates undocumented workers contribute $9 billion annually in payroll taxes alone.

3️⃣ The ‘cost’ argument is bad math: Studies show immigrants use fewer public benefits than native-born citizens (because many programs exclude them). But sure, let’s pretend the guy picking strawberries for $5/hour is the real drain on the economy.

And about that link—maybe next time, try citing something credible, not cherry-picked political propaganda. I’ll wait while you find an actual economic study that backs your claim.

A conveniently vague link? That is an official Government source backrd by actual evidence and statistics? Did you even read it? As far as sources go, that is a real as it gets. If you are afraid to read evidence, then there is nothing I can do for you.

Ah, the classic ‘Did you even read it?’ deflection—textbook move when someone realizes their ‘evidence’ isn’t the slam dunk they thought it was. Government reports aren’t immune to cherry-picked framing—especially from politicians pushing an agenda.

If your link is so airtight, surely you can summarize its key findings and explain how it accounts for the billions undocumented workers contribute via taxes, labor, and consumer spending. Or did you just skim for scary numbers without questioning the methodology?

Because if you actually understood economic impact studies, you’d know they require full context—like who benefits from lower labor costs, how GDP is affected, and long-term net contributions. Instead of hiding behind a URL, show me you understand what you’re citing.

Otherwise, you’re just parroting numbers without critical thought. Your move.
